In today’s world, it’s impossible to go a full day without the use of some form of technology whether it’s your laptop, cell phone or iPad. All of these items emit blue light that causes eye strain and can lead to more serious problems if proper care is not applied. Blue light can damage your retina and is toxic. This means it can pass through your cornea and cause long term issues for your eyes. For these reasons, it is incredibly important to use a blue filter coating so that you can go on with your daily life which usually involves the constant use of tech gadgets without having to worry about damaging your eyes. It’s impossible to avoid the use of a laptop, smartphone or computer so proper protection is necessary. If you’re wondering what the best form of protection is, blue light filter glasses are a great solution. How Blue Filter Coatings Reduce Eye Strain Blue filter coatings help block the blue light so that it doesn’t strain your eyes and shields them from all of the negative risks. This coating is anti-reflective which helps reduce strain-related discomfort including blurry vision, eye fatigue and even headaches that many of us suffer from as a result of looking at a computer screen all day long. The reality is that our everyday lives rely on the use of technology which means blue light is everywhere around us and can’t be avoided. Businesses run on computers and smartphones and laptops and digital screens and these devices are how we communicate with clients and share products so there’s really no way...

Not every pair of eyeglasses will look good on every person, and everyone who wears glasses has experienced being besotted by a pair of frames on display only to put them on and wonder why on earth you thought they were great to start with. Depending on your face shape and your colouring, different glasses will look best on you. If you are looking for a pair of glasses and aren’t sure where to begin, then read through our list of tips to help figure out what glasses will work best for you and compliment your features. Face Shape When you buy a pair of glasses, the goal is to balance your features. There are eight primary face shapes, and you most likely have one of them: Oval Rectangle Heart-shaped Square Diamond Round Triangle Oval Oval faces are “ideal” for glasses in that they are balanced. You will be able to get away with almost all glasses types and have them suit your face well. If you do have an oval face, more rounded styles or lemon-shaped styles can make your face appear round, so you may want to stay away from them. Rectangle Rectangular faces are balanced but can appear wide and sometimes quite angular. If you would like to soften your features then rounded, classic way-frames or browline frames will soften your features and way-frames and browline glasses will pull attention towards your eyes. Heart-shaped Heart-shaped faces are wide on the top third and narrow on the bottom third (they are sometimes called an inverse-triangle). Glasses tend to pull attention to the top of the face, which...

Basking in the sun for the rest of the summer sounds like a great Idea! But there are some dangers sunrays bring with them. Our eyes are susceptible and must be protected with a pair of Sunglasses at all times during the day. Sun-Related Health Problems Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to severe health problems, which sunglasses can protect us. Skin Cancer: The skin around our eyes and eyelids is susceptible and a significant degree of skin cancers are discovered near the eyes. Utilizing UV-protective sunglasses with large lenses will help protect your eyes and skin around them. Glaucoma and Cataracts: Lengthened exposure to sun’s UV rays contribute to glaucoma and cataracts. Cataracts are cloudy areas on eye’s lens, and Glaucoma is a serious condition that can lead to blindness. Sunglasses with complete UV protection will alleviate the difficulties associated with glaucoma and threat of cataract. Macular Degeneration: Types of UV radiation can worsen Macular degeneration – a condition in which part of the retina, named macula, deteriorates and poses a risk of blindness. Pterygium: Commonly known as surfer’s eye, Pterygium is growth on the eyeball and can be painful. It is usually treated with eyes drops, steroids and surgery. Optometrists recommend prevention by wearing sunglasses with UV protection, especially on clouded days when the sun isn’t as visible, but UV rays are present in the environment. Headaches and Migraines: Harsh sunlight can trigger severe headaches and migraines. While some people are more prone to experience headaches, protecting our eyes from overexposure to light can alleviate the severity and prevalence of these painful experiences. Hazardous Elements...

There’s something wonderful about the summer months when the sun is shining strong and the air is warm. Since the days are longer and the weather is nicer, people spend more time outside during the summer than during other months. Whether it’s packing up for a trip to the beach or heading out on the town for a day, one thing that lands itself on everyone’s list is sunglasses. Sunglasses can be worn for style, like our favourite designer sunglasses, or they can be worn for eye health. Whatever your reasoning may be, it’s important to remind yourself that the sun can easily damage your precious peepers, even in the depth of winter. The powerful light energy from the sun doesn’t waver after summer ends. The harmful UV rays from the sun can cause serious damage to unprotected eyes. We recommend wearing sunglasses anytime you go outside during the day so you can protect your eyes from cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium. Cataracts: The lens of the eye develops a cloudy layer that leads to foggy vision. It is estimated by the National Eye Institute that 20 percent of cataracts cases are caused by UV exposure. That means about 500,000 of the 2.5 million Canadians with cataracts could have prevented the disease by wearing sunglasses. Macular degeneration: A disease that can lead to blindness is not one to be reckoned with. Macular degeneration is generally caused by either the middle of the retina deteriorating, fatty deposits under the retina accumulating, or leaky blood vessels growing under the retina. Pterygium: A piece of tissue grows over the white part of...

Hot Trends for Eyeglasses in 2017 The hot decade this year is the 1980’s. In the last few years, a lot of the most popular eyeglasses were modeled after styles that were popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s. That meant a lot of thick black and cat eye frames. Style is always influenced by what’s popular in media, and this was no exception. The rise in popularity of these styles is attributed to shows like Mad Men, which took place in the 1960’s and enjoyed phenomenal ratings. Next year, the hot trend is going to be the 1980’s.
